Rabbit Hole Trailer

After her brilliant performance in Dogville Nicole Kidman seems to have disappeared from any critical roles. Austrailia was what it was, and Nine hardly gave her anything to work with at all so it will be a pleasant surprise to see her do something of substance in Rabbit Hole.

This trailer doesn't look all that good, but Kidman looks like she really does give it her all in this film, and she may get nominated this year.

This trailer has raised my interest in this movie ten-fold, especially the whole "He's God, he could've just made a new angel" thing. Ballsy script. I like. That sounds weird, but oh well.

Agreed. I wasn't expecting that line from Kidman, but it delivers a slap to the face.

Looks interesting. Don't know if I'll see it in theaters but I will definitely make an effort to see it at some point. I thought Kidman was good in "Margot at the Wedding" from Noah Baumbach. Just about everyone else under the sun tore that film up, however.

Wow, I agree with everyone about Kidman. I generally like her but she looks particularly compelling here and not as glamorous as she usually is, which is a good thing. That line is heartbreaking... I have a colleague who just lost his 11 year-old son suddenly, but the way he deals with it is inspiring. Instead of cursing God he's thankful he was given the privilege to be with his son for that time period.

The Best of the Decade

Over the last ten years, the cinema has given us a great deal to be thankful for: a rebirth of the Batman franchise, a series of examinations of what it means to live in this particular decade, and a mass of character studies whether they be animated or popcorn thrillers. As much as I have enjoyed the offerings, a list must be culled together for the end of the year. Except this year is different, this year ten films must be selected from hundreds. Below are some of the best of the aughts. Enjoy! 10) There Will Be Blood Paul Thomas Anderson's magnum opus, a scathing look at extremism in America and the evils of greed and profiteering from religion. It also features the best performance of the decade with Daniel Day-Lewis as oil-man Daniel Plainview. 9)  Up A beautiful tale that entrances all ages,  Up managed to captivate children and tell a tale that adults cherish as well. 8) The Dark Knight Maybe just a comic book film, but it is the best comic book film

Paprika vs. Inception

Months before Inception hit the theaters forums were alive with rumors that Christopher Nolan either accidentally or intentionally stole some details from another film, the Japanese anime Paprika. The biggest point of comparison for some bloggers and forum runners was the fact that both of the films featured a device that allowed a person, or people, to travel into another’s dreams and delve into their subconscious. Minor points of comparison include scenes in Paprika where the character Paprika breaks through a mirrored wall by holding her hand to it, as well as a scene where a police detective falls his way down a hallway. Claims have been made that Inception abounds with imagery similar to or exactly like the anime movie, but with the recent release of the film on DVD and Blu-Ray, and with Paprika available for several years now, an examination of the two plots can be made more fully. Let us begin with the primary claim— Inception stole the idea of a dream

He is of split-mind for sure. But what does his Flickchart look like? Read the rest at Flickchart !
